    These balls of cookie dough love will be a winner recipe for the whole family. We just scoop the dough up into balls using a small cookie scoop to get a very sizable snack that is filling, delicious and easy to whip up in just minutes.  No-bake treats are the best!  

    Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls - GF option

    Healthy snacking is always welcome around our house and these Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls includes ingredients that you already have in your pantry, which is always welcoming. 

    Oats, peanut butter or any natural nut butter, maple syrup or honey, butter or coconut oil and chocolate chips.  Add some vanilla for an extra boost.  As you can see, many of the ingredients are inter-changeable as needed with ingredients you have on hand.

    Oat flour is one of my favorite ingredients to use!  You can also buy it gluten-free, especially if you have allergies.  And if that is the case, switch out the peanut butter for Sunbutter. 

    For the oats, I used Thrive Organic Gluten-Free Rolled Oats.  They are chewy, filling, and hearty and are safe for those with allergies or sensitivities to gluten. They’re also free of preservatives and artificial ingredients.

    If you don't have oat flour, you can easily make your own. 

    Add oats to a food processor and blend until coarse.  Keep pulsing until the oats become a fine flour, with little to no flakes of oats remaining, depending on texture you wish for your recipes.  

    Use as needed in oat flour recipes and measure but it's nice to know when grinding oats, there is an almost 1:1 ratio for rolled oats to ground oats , (if the recipe called for a ½ oat flour, simply measure just over a ½ cup of rolled oats).  Oats also give a subtle hint of nuttiness when used in recipes.

    Whether you strive to maintain a healthy lifestyle or just need some balance every now and then, these Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls are healthy delicious, nutritious and good fat/calories for the body.  Eat them for breakfast, snacking or even as dessert after your meals.  So yummy!
